8.4.1 Introduction
Due to safety option 10, the following safety functions can be used:
ƒ Safe torque off (STO), formerly: safe standstill
If requested, the safe disconnection of the drive is achieved through:
ƒ Directly connected active sensors
ƒ Passive sensors connected to a safety switching device
The safety functions are suitable for applications according to IEC 61508 to SIL 3 and
achieve a performance level (PL) e and the control category 4 according to EN ISO 13849−1.
} Danger!
If the request for the safety function is cancelled, the drive will restart
automatically.
You must provide external measures which ensure that the drive only restarts
after a confirmation (EN 60204).
8.4.2 Disconnecting paths
The transmission of the pulse width modulation is safely switched (off) by the safety unit.
After this, the power drivers do not generate a rotating field. The motor is safely switched
to torqueless operation (STO).

8.4.3 Safety status
When the controller is disconnected from the safety unit, the "Safe torque off" (STO) status
is set (C00155 bit 10 = 1).
